Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics for living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Digestive Enzymes, Gut Health, and Omega-3's with Guest Brenda Watson [0:00:00] Show Intro,  National Club Foot Day & Prior Episode Reference Ed mentions National Club Foot Day (previous Wednesday). References a prior Vital Health Radio episode where he strongly criticized a local Chattanooga physician for poor club foot care that nearly harmed his grandson. Ed urges: Anyone with a child/grandchild with club foot seeing providers in Chattanooga  listen to our Feb 15th (2026) episode Contact: NutritionWorld@comcast.net to get details of that show and the physician referenced. Emphasis on truth, empowerment, and avoiding harm from medical “inefficiency and ignorance.” [0:03:58] Delta-8 Gummies, Anxiety/Sleep & Lifespan Extension Concepts Recap of a recent show with Hemp House. Ed explains: Only about three weeks left to legally purchase Delta-8 gummies at Hemp House or Nutrition World. Why someone might use Delta-8: Anxiety Trouble sleeping Need to stay functional but calmer Must find the right dose individually (no standard dosing). Safer than many anti-anxiety drugs when used properly. He is saving several containers in his freezer for future “bumps in the road” (periods of poor sleep or high stress). Notes dogs may benefit for anxiety, thunder phobia, pain, etc., when used correctly and from a trusted company. Ed recommends Dr. David Sinclair's “Lifespan” podcast: Focus on practical drugs, supplements, and lifestyle strategies to extend lifespan. Central concept: cellular repair – if we repaired cells at 50 as well as at 20, lifespan could drastically increase. Key tools Dr. Sinclair highlights (as relayed by Ed): Rapamycin – Ed takes this drug himself; impacts mTOR; can extend lifespan even when started later in life. AMPK activators – sold at Nutrition World; support clearing out old/dysfunctional cells. Resveratrol – mimics some effects of fasting. Hyperbaric oxygen – discussed as a potential lifespan extender. Ed shares Sinclair's animal-longevity illustrations: A mole rat living ~20x longer than regular rats → proves there are mechanisms of extended lifespan. A long-lived whale (Clint jokes and riffs on the name) said to reach ~200 years, suggesting humans might mimic similar mechanisms. [0:08:46] Call for Listener Stories & Introduction of Guest Brenda Watson Ed invites listeners to share personal health recovery stories, especially involving “the Green Pharmacy” (natural, nutritional, and lifestyle approaches, including Nutrition World support). Announced collaboration with Clint Powell on a new podcast: Short, credible motivational/educational stories (5–20 minutes). Focus: “I was in bad shape, now I'm much better” recovery narratives. Participants receive a $50 Nutrition World gift card. Recordings at a studio ~5 minutes from Nutrition World. Introduction of guest Brenda Watson, founder of Vital Planet. Described as a guru of gut health and the microbiome: Leaky gut, SIBO, broad digestive health expertise. Ed recalls her long-running NPR fund-raiser specials on gut health that reached tens of thousands. [0:13:25] Digestive Enzymes, Gut Health & Problems with Acid Blockers Topic: What is an enzyme? Why does it matter? Brenda's explanation: Enzymes “break things apart”: Protease → breaks proteins into amino acids. Amylase → breaks starches into glucose. Lipase → breaks fats into fatty acids. Ideally, stomach, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder work together to digest food into absorbable units. Early digestive symptoms: Heartburn, gas, bloating, etc. Many people self-treat with OTC antacids or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and this often worsens underlying issues. Her main point: For early digestive symptoms, start with a full-spectrum digestive enzyme (protease, amylase, lipase) with meals, not acid-blocking drugs. As we age, natural digestion weakens, compounded by poor food quality. If food is not properly digested: It rots in the gut → gas, overgrowth of “bad bugs”. Contributes to SIBO, leaky gut, and broader dysbiosis. Leads to poor absorption of nutrients and worsening health. Enzymes as Step One: Should be a first-line intervention alongside or even before probiotics. Emphasizes that digestive enzymes for digestion must be taken with meals. Brenda notes she ran a stool test program with 12 people; often saw imbalanced gut bacteria driven by undigested food. Modern enzyme formulations can be more targeted: Gluten-support enzymes. General high-potency formulas. Formulas for dairy and fat, especially for people on keto who need extra fat-digesting support. She reiterates: Poor digestion = bad bacteria, leaky gut, SIBO, multiple gut issues. Digestive enzymes are a “no-brainer” first step when digestive symptoms appear. [0:23:47] Enzymes as a Foundational Strategy & Aging, Pancreas/Bile Physiology Emphasizes: Rotting food analogy: leftover food in a trash can on a 97°F day = what undigested food can be like inside the gut. Even without symptoms, after age ~40–45, enzymes may be wise especially for people who: Overeat Eat a lot of dairy or gluten Notes loose stools and general poor health can be caused by lack of pancreatic enzymes. Shares a case where a client's stool test showed zero pancreatic enzyme production, correlating with constant sickness. You can “get away with” some other health issues, but you cannot have a dysfunctional digestive tract and still expect even average health. Brenda further explains physiology and pH: Stomach should be very acidic (pH ~2) during digestion. When partly digested food moves into the small intestine: Bicarbonate is released to neutralize acid. Pancreas releases enzymes (protease, amylase, lipase). Liver/gallbladder release bile for fat digestion near the same region. If stomach acid is suppressed, the chain reaction is disrupted: Poor enzyme activation. Poor bile function. pH shifts can foster candida and other imbalances (e.g., colon getting too alkaline). She underscores: From mouth to colon, each region needs appropriate pH. Chronic use of acid blockers has long-term downstream consequences. Ed mentions a simple at-home baking soda test to roughly gauge stomach acid (baking soda in water between meals, watching for burping). Important caution: If you're on acid-blocking medications, you must wean off slowly; do not stop abruptly. Nutrition World's pharmacist, Dr. Curt Dearing, helps people step down from PPIs and H2 blockers safely (in partnership with their physicians). [0:30:58] Omega-3s , Purity, and Heart/Brain Health Ed highlights Vital Omega (Vital Planet): #1 selling product at Nutrition World. Exceptional purity and transparency (heavy emphasis on contaminant-free sourcing). Very high potency (2350 mg of EPA/DHA per serving). No “fish burp” complaints and virtually no returns. Contains lipase enzyme to support fat digestion and further reduce digestive discomfort. Omega blood tests on customers show high omega-3 levels when using this brand. Brenda agrees: Omega-3s are critical at any age, especially in today's toxic environment. You might skip a multivitamin, but you should not skip omega-3s. Ed's additional points: Olive oil and flax oil are not the same as concentrated EPA/DHA. EPA/DHA are essential for cell membranes, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function. Warns of contaminated fish oil from polluted waters (mercury, heavy metals, etc.). Website plug for Vital Planet: VitalPlanet.com for education, and product details. Ed reiterates his respect for Brenda's decades of ethical, passionate work and says they'll have her back on again.   [0:38:54] Lifestyle, Local Food, Pillows, and Environmental Toxins Ed and Clint return; Ed summarizes the show's philosophy: Better aging is about strength, clarity, mobility, energy, not just added years. Introduces term “peak span”, maximizing the years we're at peak function, not just lifespan. Critiques normalization of poor health (hunched posture, chronic pain, poor sleep, anxiety) as “just getting old.” Local food talk: Discussion of Tallow House in Cleveland (burger restaurant, cousin of Tony from Portofino). Two-hour waits, excellent reviews, smash burgers, buns from Neidlovs bakery. Dust mites and pillows: Ed cites data that about 1/3 of a pillow can be dead skin + dust mites over time. Many pillows also contain fire retardant chemicals leading to chronic exposure while sleeping. Ed searched for non-toxic pillows via Mamavation: A site that tests products for chemical residues and rates them. His previous pillow (from Avocado) came out top-rated, so he bought a new Avocado pillow. Recommends buying via Mammovation's affiliate link for a small discount. [0:44:00] Essential Oils, Green Pharmacy & Polypharmacy Ed on essential oils quality: A test of 20 lavender oils from Amazon found: Only 3 were pure. 17 were diluted/contaminated with other oils. Smell alone isn't a reliable indicator of quality. Nutrition World only carries brands with Certificates of Analysis; dropped an entire line a few years back over quality concerns. Ed shares a Taiwanese blood pressure study: 58 adults with high blood pressure, many on meds. wore a face mask with a cotton pad containing small amounts of real lavender oil for 15 minutes/day over 7 days. Result: systolic blood pressure reduced by ~10 points. A placebo (fake) oil did not reduce blood pressure. One-day use showed no benefit – consistent use was required. He frames this as an example of the “Green Pharmacy”: Mentions Dr. Curt Dearing (pharmacist at Nutrition World): Helps people review and rationalize medication lists, with the goal of reducing polypharmacy in collaboration with prescribing doctors. References a recent Vital Health Radio episode on polypharmacy (average American takes ~17 prescriptions per year). [0:56:48] Meditation, Mindset, Ancient Wisdom & Fulfillment Story from the Daily Stoic: Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller at a billionaire's party: Vonnegut points out the host made more money yesterday than Heller's Catch-22 ever did. Heller replies he has something the billionaire never will: “the knowledge that I've got enough.” Ed uses this to emphasize: The power of knowing you have enough. Shifting from chasing money to working for fulfillment once basics are covered. Clint adds: You must learn to be content with what you have while still pursuing goals. More stuff doesn't automatically create a content person. Ed reads a longer reflection on “ancient wisdom” vs. modern medicine: Fundamental philosophy: alignment with nature. Humans thrived for millennia without pharmaceuticals (acknowledges infectious disease issues before hygiene and antibiotics). Nearly every drug has unintended consequences and rarely treats root causes. Cites estimate: medical errors as the 3rd leading cause of death in the US (~250,000 deaths/year). Notes ~90% of American calories now come from processed foods and seed oils Argues seed oils are among the most destructive components of the modern diet. Many cardiologists still recommend them as heart-healthy, highlighting the conflict between mainstream and holistic views. Plug for Ed's book: “Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired” available at TheHolisticNavigator.com, built around ancient wisdom.  The post Radio Show / Podcast – June 7, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

Becka Hannigan sits down with Celso de Mello, co-founder of Arcos Brasil, to discuss the changing world of bow making, exotic wood conservation, and the increasingly complex realities of working with Pernambuco and alternative bow woods in Brazil. Celso shares his firsthand perspective from decades in the industry, beginning in the mid-1990s when regulations surrounding Pernambuco were less restrictive, through the major CITES changes of 2007, and into the modern era of strict tracking, auditing, and environmental oversight. He explains how the Brazilian government monitors and documents wood through extensive databases and chain-of-custody systems, creating a highly regulated environment for makers and exporters. The conversation explores Arcos Brasil's long history in the bow trade, the company's involvement in conservation and replanting efforts, and the broader challenge of preserving both endangered species and the centuries-old tradition of bow making. Celso also discusses the company's transition in recent years toward producing bows from Ipe and other alternative woods as the industry adapts to evolving regulations and environmental realities.

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has highlighted the strong ties between Australia and India, pointing to state's large Indian diaspora as a key link between the two countries. She said this vibrant community plays an important role in deepening the relationship between the two nations. Speaking about the possibility of a visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in July this year, Allan said she would welcome the opportunity to host him. She also addressed a range of state issues during a recent media briefing, including the upcoming state budget and concerns about crime in Victoria.

MDWFP biologist Martin Coker joins the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast to explain something most Mississippians have never thought about — the difference between a nuisance animal and a fur bearer species, and why that distinction matters for how they're managed.Martin breaks down which animals fall into each category, why wild hogs can be taken year-round while bobcats and river otters have a regulated season, and why the stretch between deer and turkey season is actually a great window for hog management. He also talks about how CITES tags work, why muskrats have been rebranded as "marsh hare" in some markets, how raccoon calls are increasing as suburban areas expand, and why you need to remove nearly 80% of a hog population annually just to hold it steady.

How do we preserve pernambuco while protecting the future of bow making? In this episode of Omo, hosts Becka Hannigan and Brooke Esplin speaks with renowned bow maker Lynn Hannings and arts policy advocate Heather Noonan about pernambuco conservation, international regulation, and the realities facing the bow world in 2026. Lynn Hannings brings decades of experience as a professional bassist, bow maker, restorer, and educator. A longtime teacher at the University of New Hampshire Violin Craftsmanship Institute and current Vice President of Alliance-International, she has been a leading voice in sustainable bow making and conservation efforts within the industry. Heather Noonan, Vice President for Advocacy at the League of American Orchestras, works at the intersection of arts policy, government relations, and international treaty negotiations involving protected species and the movement of musical instruments across borders. The discussion covers the history of pernambuco regulation, recent CITES negotiations, sustainable forestry efforts, and current bow wood restrictions. These regulations exist not to end bow making, but to preserve these species so they can continue to be responsibly used for generations to come. In order to really protect the future of Pernambuco in Brazil and our precious music traditions, we will need coordination and cooperation from all shops, makers, and musicians. This is not the time for apathy, but for action!

En France, la récente condamnation de 17 personnes impliquées dans un réseau international de contrebande de civelles met en lumière le commerce des animaux sauvages. Un trafic particulièrement lucratif estimé à 20 milliards de dollars par an, selon l'ONU. Aux douanes de l'aéroport de Roissy-Charles de Gaulle, à Paris, les autorités saisissent une grande variété de produits interdits issus d'animaux protégés.  Dans un hangar de fret de l'aéroport de Paris-Charles de Gaulle, près des pistes d'atterrissage, ce sont plus de 2 millions de tonnes de marchandises qui transitent chaque année. Chaque jour, les douaniers français opèrent une fouille aléatoire des colis à la recherche de stupéfiants, de cigarettes et d'espèces animales ou végétales interdites ou dont le commerce est limité par la convention CITES sur le commerce d'espèces protégées.   Valérie Besson, cheffe du bureau des douanes, supervise les contrôles. « Il y a beaucoup de médicaments qui contiennent des espèces soit de flore, soit de faune protégées par la CITES. Vous avez par exemple dans des médicaments la bile des ours qui est prélevée sur les ours vivants. Vous les voyez dans des cages avec le tuyau qui extrait la bile tout au long de la journée. Vous avez de l'hippocampe séché, [des espèces] de flore aussi, énumère-t-elle, qui sont protégées et qui rentrent dans la fabrication de médicaments asiatiques pour leurs vertus soi-disant thérapeutiques, de force, de virilité. Il y a la poudre de corne de rhinocéros, le kilo de corne de rhinocéros est vendu à plus de 40 000 €. » À lire aussiTrafic d'espèces sauvages: un commerce criminel qui menace aussi la santé mondiale La faune et la flore en contrebande Face à une longue table, elle décrit les saisies de produits dérivés d'animaux et de plantes de ces dernières semaines, il y a eu beaucoup d'orchidées et d'agaves. « Très souvent, il y a des collectionneurs en France, notamment des cactus et des orchidées qui sont importés. Vous avez deux peaux de caïmans. Elles viennent des États-Unis. Donc, là, vous avez la chance d'avoir la peau complète avec le crâne et les dents, mais vous avez souvent des petits bouts d'os ou de cornes d'animal, ou des bouts de pattes, ou de queue, ou de poils, décrit la cheffe du bureau des douanes. Je vous parle des queues d'éléphant, par exemple, les petits poils des queues des éléphants. Et puis vous avez la chance d'avoir deux très belles cornes de rhinocéros. La petite et la grande qui ont été saisies suite à une découverte à l'export sur l'Asie. Elles portent des traces qui prouvent qu'elles étaient accrochées sur des trophées, donc elles ont certainement été volées. Il va y avoir une enquête pour essayer de trouver l'origine de ces cornes de rhinocéros. » Ce petit échantillon du vaste trafic d'espèces sauvages va même jusqu'à l'envoi d'animaux vivants. « Il arrive que des gens mettent des animaux vivants dans des envois de la Poste, poursuit-elle. C'est très rare, mais ça peut arriver quand même. Par la Poste, on a déjà trouvé notamment des serpents, un python royal… » À lire aussiCOP20 de la Cites: le trafic de 700 espèces animales et végétales interdit Le quatrième trafic le plus lucratif au monde Une fois saisis, ces animaux sont envoyés dans des refuges ou des aquariums agréés afin de recevoir les soins nécessaires. Ce trafic de faune, on le retrouve également dans les bagages des passagers lors des contrôles aléatoires, explique Laurent Authier, responsable adjoint du fret à Roissy. « Au niveau mondial, le trafic des espèces protégées est le quatrième trafic le plus lucratif, le plus rentable après celui relatif aux stupéfiants, à la traite des êtres humains et celui relatif au commerce des armes », dénonce-t-il. Des sacs remplis de civelles ont ainsi été saisis à Roissy. Un trafic d'alevins d'anguilles à destination de l'Asie qui a débouché sur la condamnation de 17 personnes à des peines de prison allant jusqu'à 5 ans. « Le but premier, c'est quand même d'essayer qu'il y ait des suites judiciaires qui soient menées sur nos constatations, explique Laurent Authier. Maintenant, au regard des volumes et au regard des constatations qui sont réalisées sur des petites quantités, nous avons la possibilité de saisir ces marchandises-là et ensuite de mettre des amendes et d'infliger des amendes aux personnes qui sont concernées. Après, ça peut aller plus loin s'il y a des suites judiciaires. Là, ce n'est plus une amende, ça peut aller jusqu'à des peines d'emprisonnement. » Selon les données d'Interpol, le trafic d'animaux vivants a atteint des chiffres records à l'échelle mondiale l'an dernier avec 30 000 saisies – plus de 6 000 oiseaux, tortues, reptiles, primates et pangolins. Un trafic stimulé par la demande d'animaux de compagnie exotiques. À lire aussiFrance: un procès s'ouvre après le démantèlement d'un vaste trafic d'oiseaux sauvages

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has delivered his 2026 budget, which he says takes what he's called the 'hard road of reform'. At the heart of the budget are housing tax changes, and a $35 billion saving from reform to the runaway National Disability Insurance Scheme. Labor has been keen to portray this budget as one of spending restraint, after warnings by economists and Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock that splashing out would only fuel inflation and risk further rate hikes. - جیم چالمرز وزیر خزانه‌داری آسترالیا بودجه فدرالی ۲۰۲۶ را با تاکید براینکه این "راه دشوار اصلاحات" بوده ارائه کرده است؛ بودجه‌ای که در آن تغییرات مالیاتی مرتبط با مسکن، بسته مصوونیت مواد سوخت، و صرفه‌جویی‌های بزرگ از جمله اصلاحات در برنامه ملی بیمه ناتوانی (NDIS) در کنار تعهدات عمده در بخش‌های صحت، زیربنا و دفاع مطرح می‌شود. حکومت می‌گوید این رویکرد برای عبور از فشارهای اقتصادی ناشی از جنگ در شرق میانه و کاهش تورم، ضروری است؛ در حالی‌که منتقدان و کارشناسان همچنان در مورد پیامدهای آن بر مخارج زندگی و نرخ سود هشدار می‌دهند.

Esta semana en el sector del hidrógeno ha estado marcada por grandes inversiones y avances tecnológicos que refuerzan el papel de España como hub europeo. La entrada de Hy24 con una inversión de 2.000 millones y la participación de Enagás consolidan el atractivo del país, mientras que Castilla y León prevé movilizar hasta 6.000 millones hasta 2030. En paralelo, se impulsa una red troncal de 2.600 km con 32.500 millones de inversión, clave para conectar producción y consumo. A nivel industrial, Solaris Bus & Coach suministrará autobuses de hidrógeno en Alemania, y en innovación destacan un catalizador 3D desarrollado por la Universidad de Alicante y el lanzamiento del primer motor comercial de hidrógeno por Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Francisca Segura, responsable de la línea de hidrógeno en el CITES de la Universidad de Huelva, ha explicado la evolución de este centro de investigación, que comenzó en 2003 con recursos muy limitados y hoy cuenta con una infraestructura completa para estudiar toda la cadena de valor del hidrógeno. El centro dispone de electrolizadores de distintas tecnologías, pilas de combustible, sistemas de almacenamiento y hasta una microred que da soporte al campus, lo que lo convierte en un entorno demostrador único en España. Además de la investigación, Segura ha destacado el papel clave de la formación y el talento, con grados especializados en energías renovables e hidrógeno, así como decenas de trabajos fin de grado, máster y tesis doctorales dirigidas. La evolución del sector ha sido evidente: de tener que convencer a estudiantes sobre el potencial del hidrógeno, se ha pasado a una alta demanda formativa y a una empleabilidad prácticamente total, con un 100% de inserción laboral entre los egresados. El impacto directo del centro en la economía real, tanto por la creación de empleo cualificado como por la colaboración con empresas e instituciones en proyectos piloto, como iniciativas de trigeneración energética o programas europeos. También destacó la participación en proyectos internacionales, desde laboratorios remotos hasta iniciativas del programa Horizon para propulsión marítima con combustibles renovables, consolidando al CITES como un actor relevante en la transferencia de conocimiento y en el desarrollo del ecosistema del hidrógeno.

1. Secret Service Funding & Political Conflict The U.S. Secret Service stopped an alleged assassination attempt and they were underfunded due to Department of Homeland Security budget disputes. Democrats repeatedly voted against DHS/Secret Service funding, framing this as irresponsible given security risks. This political rhetoric contributes to political violence. Discusses legal opposition to construction of a White House ballroom with enhanced security features. The court’s temporary halt to construction is portrayed as dismissive of national security concerns. There are repeated threats against President Trump as justification for heightened security. 3. Radicalization & Political Violence Narrative Attributes recent acts of political violence to left‑wing ideology and alleged “Marxist” indoctrination in academia. Cites a purported manifesto to argue that ideological framing of “oppressors vs. victims” is used to justify violence. 4. FBI Raids and Minnesota Fraud Allegations FBI raids on over 20 childcare and nonprofit facilities in Minneapolis related to alleged large‑scale fraud. The fraud is involving misuse of taxpayer funds, particularly in programs tied to childcare and social services. Minnesota political leaders are accused of ignoring or covering up fraud while later taking credit for enforcement. There is widespread abuse of SNAP (food stamp) benefits, including recipients allegedly owning high‑end luxury vehicles. The federal eligibility rules (broad‑based categorical eligibility) are at fault for enabling fraud. Both fraudsters and policymakers who support current rules should be held accountable. Democratic officials are benefiting politically from fraud & welfare expansion. Specific figures are cited as symbols of incompetence, corruption, or ideological extremism. 7. DEI Policies & Homelessness Programs Describes homelessness assistance systems, particularly in Portland, Oregon, as driven by DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) scoring systems. Aid is prioritized based on race, sexuality, or identity over economic need leads to ineffective outcomes. Despite very high spending per homeless individual, homelessness‑related deaths increased significantly. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

1. Democratic Impeachment Strategy Playbook Revealed Democrats intend to impeach and remove both Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance if they gain control of Congress. Democrats would change Senate impeachment rules to allow live witnesses and prolonged trials to pressure Republicans into defecting. Impeachment is being used as a political weapon rather than a constitutional remedy. 2. Role of George Conway George Conway is articulating this strategy in interviews. Conway is emblematic of the Democratic Party’s broader agenda. His congressional candidacy is evidence that these views are part of official Democratic messaging. 3. Accusations of Constitutional Norm Violations Democrats openly reject constitutional norms while claiming to “restore” them. Impeachment norms are being intentionally discarded to eliminate political opponents. An existential break from 250 years of governance tradition. 4. “Never Trump” Narrative Asserts a long-running coordinated effort to: Financially ruin Trump and his family, Invalidate election outcomes, Prosecute and imprison Trump, Remove him from political life entirely. Impeachment is the final phase of this campaign. 5. Political Violence and Extremism Alleges Democrats are morally or indirectly responsible for assassination attempts against Trump. Uses this claim to argue that political opposition has escalated beyond democratic processes. 6. Government Censorship Allegations The federal government—specifically agencies created or expanded under Barack Obama—are censoring conservative media. Focuses on the Global Engagement Center (GEC), alleging it was weaponized against U.S. conservatives rather than foreign threats. Cites lawsuits and media investigations to argue conservative speech was deliberately suppressed. 7. Media and the “Deep State” Mainstream media concealed these actions from the public. Describes federal agencies as part of a “deep state” aligned against conservatives. Warns that these mechanisms would be reactivated if Democrats regain power. 8. Overall Warning to Voters Concludes with a call to vigilance. Democratic electoral victories would result in: Constitutional erosion, Mass political purges, Expanded censorship of dissenting voices.

WarRoom Battleground EP 979: Finnish Politician Cites Romans 1 — And Is Convicted Under “War Crimes And Crimes Against Humanity”

LinkedIn is the #2 most cited source for LLMs — only Reddit beats it. AI search is 20 to 30% of all search interactions now. So that's number two in a massive and fast-growing landscape. SEMrush analyzed 89,000 LinkedIn URLs cited by AI tools across 325,000 prompts and found that LinkedIn is the number two most cited domain by LLMs. ChatGPT Search, Google AI Mode, and Perplexity all heavily cite LinkedIn. Your LinkedIn post is now competing for the same real estate as a Wikipedia article — and winning. I break down five things you need to know about AI search and LinkedIn, why follower counts don't matter, why AEO is the evolution of SEO, and why the abundance mindset is already the winning strategy.Chapters: (0:00) A LinkedIn post with 20 reactions can outperform a viral tweet with 50K likes(0:30) How big AI search already is — McKinsey and Graphite.io data(1:30) Not an April Fools episode(1:45) #1: The new scoreboard — LinkedIn is #2 most cited domain by LLMs(3:30) #2: Clout is dead, clarity is king — most cited posts have 15-25 reactions(5:00) #3: AEO is the evolution of SEO — mirror natural language(7:00) Why this is good and bad for small businesses(8:30) #4: You need both channels — Company Page and personal profile(10:00) Don't just repost — add your POV(10:30) #5: The flattened landscape — abundance mindset already won(12:00) Your only differentiator is your POV(12:30) Wrap-up: be active, be human, have a point of viewLinks mentioned:Social media follower counts don't matter anymore (IG reel)McKinsey - New front door to the internet: Winning in the age of AI search 10/2025Graphite.io - AI Is Much Bigger Than You Think (2026)Related cilp: You don't need AI, you need a POVBook a virtual workshop with me: - Marketing Surgery Workshop (1-hour): Book here - Podcast Surgery Workshop: See brochureBook Podcast Surgery directly on CalendlyMy podcast apps & gear (promo links):Record guests and create Magic Clips on Riverside: emilybinder.com/riversideRecord + edit like a Word Doc with AI - Descript: emilybinder.com/descriptMy microphone gearVideo podcast gearOrganized lists of all products I use: amazon.com/shop/emilybinderCoaching: Marketing Advisory, or Executive Media + Personal Branding: emilybinder.com/callConnect:This podcast | My website | Beetle Moment Marketing | LinkedIn | X | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | Email updates Hosted on Acast.

War Room Trump Cites Progress in Dealing With “More Reasonable Regime” — While Mulling Ground Operation to Seize Uranium, As Iran Sets Toll for Strait of Hormuz

Générique Cazarre - CITES D'OR

A televangelist says he needs a private jet, and he's citing the Bible to justify it! After ditching commercial travel, he's now asking followers to fund his upgrade, arguing even Christ had to avoid the crowds. Apparently, salvation travels first class (or better). Also this week: a bizarre Mormon conference tries to argue Joseph Smith didn't practice polygamy, prompting backlash and possible discipline from the church; a Pittsburgh priest gets caught selling church artifacts on eBay after repeatedly stealing baseball cards from Walmart; Democrats experiment with running pastors for office, raising questions about religion's role on the left; Texas gets pushed by the courts to reconsider excluding Muslim schools from its voucher program; and Jehovah's Witnesses quietly ease their blood transfusion ban (sort of). Plus, the LDS Church rolls out a so-called "gender equity" change that lets women lead Sunday School… as long as they don't lead men. 

Today's show begins as President Trump finishes answering questions on the tarmac in West Palm Beach before flying to Memphis. He gave a pretty optimistic assessment of where things stand with Iran right now. Earlier in the day, he said that the US has had "very good and productive conversations with Iran regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East." Our coverage begins with White House correspondent Kevin Liptak.    Learn more about your ad choices.

PREVIEW: Journalist Craig Unger presents allegations from his books regarding Donald Trump's relationship with the KGB in the 1980s. Unger cites Yuri Shvets, a former KGB major, who claims Trump was cultivated as an asset by Soviet state security. The discussion covers a timeline from 1980 to 1987, detailing how a trip to Moscow allegedly led to Trump publishing a full-page ad in the New York Times that echoed KGB talking points.1870 CASTLE GARDEN

In this episode, I'm joined by Virginie Raphael — investor, entrepreneur, and philosopher of work — for a wide-ranging conversation about incentives, technology, and how we build systems that scale without losing their humanity. We talk about her background growing up around her family's flower business, and how those early experiences shaped the way she thinks about labor, value, and operating in the real economy. That foundation carries through to her work as an investor, where she brings an operator's lens to evaluating businesses and ideas. We explore how incentives quietly shape outcomes across industries, especially in healthcare. Virginie shares why telehealth was a meaningful shift and what needs to change to move beyond one-to-one, supply-constrained models of care. We also dig into AI, venture capital, and the mistakes founders commonly make today — from hiring sales teams too early to raising too much money too fast. Virginie offers candid advice on pitching investors, why thoughtful cold outreach still works, and how doing real research signals respect and fit. The conversation closes with a contrarian take on selling: why it's not a numbers game, how focus and pre-qualification drive better outcomes, and why knowing who not to target is just as valuable as finding the right people. If you're thinking about the future of work, building with intention, or navigating entrepreneurship in an AI-accelerated world, this episode is for you. And for more conversations like this, join us at Snafu Conference 2026 on March 5th, where we'll keep exploring incentives, human skills, and what it really takes to build things that last. Start (0:00) Reflections on Work, Geography, and AI Adoption Virginie shares what she's noticing as trends in work and tech adoption: Geographic focus: she's excited to explore AI adoption outside traditional tech hubs. Examples: Atlanta, Nashville, Durham, Utah, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, parts of the Midwest. Rationale: businesses in these regions may adopt AI faster due to budgets, urgency, and impatience for tech that doesn't perform. "There are big corporates, there are middle and small businesses in those geos that have budget that will need the tech… and/or have less patience, I should say, for over-hub technologies that don't work." She notes that transitions to transformational technology never happen overnight, which creates opportunities: "We always underestimate how much time a transition to making anything that's so transformational… truly ubiquitous… just tends to think that it will happen overnight and it never does." Robin adds context from her own experience with Robin's Cafe and San Francisco's Mission District: Observed cultural and business momentum tied to geography Mentions Hollywood decline and rise of alternative media hubs (Atlanta, Morocco, New Jersey) Virginie reflects on COVID's impact on workforce behaviors: Opened a "window" to new modes of work and accelerated change: "There were many preexisting trends… but I do think that COVID gave a bit of a window into what was possible." Emphasis on structural change: workforce shifts require multi-year perspective and infrastructure, not just trends. Investor, Mission, and Capital Philosophy Virginie clarifies she is an investor, not a venture capitalist, resisting labels and prestige metrics. "I don't call myself a venture capitalist… I just say investor." Focuses on outcomes over categories, investing in solutions that advance the world she wants to see rather than chasing trendy tech sectors. "The outcome we want to see is everyone having the mode of work that suits them best throughout their lives." Portfolio themes: Access: helping people discover jobs they wouldn't otherwise know about. Retention / support: preventing workforce dropouts, providing appropriate healthcare, childcare, and caregiving support. "Anyone anywhere building towards that vision is investible by us." Critiques traditional venture capital practices: Raising VC money is not inherently a sign of success. "Raising from a VC is just not a sign of success. It's a milestone, not the goal." Concerned about concentration of capital into a few funds, leaving many founders unsupported. "There's a sense… that the work we do commands a lot less power in the world, a lot less effectiveness than holding the capital to hire that labor." Emphasizes structural, mission-driven investing over chasing categories: Invests in companies that prevent workforce dropouts, expand opportunity, and create equitable access to meaningful work. Portfolio strategy is diversified, focusing on infrastructure and long-term impact rather than quick wins. "We've tracked over time what type of founders and what type of solutions we attract and it's exactly the type of deal that we want to see." Reflects on COVID and societal trends as a lens for her investment thesis: "COVID gave a bit of a window into what was possible," highlighting alternative modes of work and talent distribution that are often overlooked. Labor, Ownership, and Durable Skills Virginie reframes the concept of labor, wages, and ownership: "The word labor in and of itself… is something we need to change." Interested in agency and ownership as investment opportunities, especially for small businesses transitioning to employee ownership. "For a very long time… there's been a shift towards knowledge work and how those people are compensated. If you go on the blue-collar side… it's about wages still and labor." Emphasizes proper capitalization and alignment of funds to support meaningful exits for smaller businesses, rather than chasing massive exits that drive the VC zeitgeist. AI fits into this discussion as part of broader investment considerations. Childhood experience in family flower business shaped her entrepreneurial and labor perspective: Selling flowers, handling cash, and interacting with customers taught "durable skills" that persisted into adulthood. "When I think of labor, I think of literally planting pumpkin plants… pulling espresso shots… bringing a customer behind the counter." Observing her father start a business from scratch instilled risk-taking and entrepreneurial spirit. "Seeing my dad do this when I was seven… definitely part of that." Skills like sales acumen, handling money, and talking to adults were early lessons that translated into professional confidence. Non-linear career paths and expanding exposure to opportunity: Concerned that students often see only a narrow range of job options: "Kids go out of high school, they can think of three jobs, two of which are their parents' jobs… Surely because we do a poor job exposing them to other things." Advocates for creating more flexible and exploratory career pathways for young people and adults alike. Durable skills and language shaping work: Introduction of the term "durable skills" reframes how competencies are understood: "I use it all the time now… as a proof point for why we need to change language." Highlights the stigma and limitations of words like "soft skills" or "fractional work": Fractional roles are high-impact and intentional, not temporary or inferior. "Brilliant people who wanna work on a fractional basis… they truly wanna work differently… on a portfolio of things they're particularly good at solving." Work in Progress uses language intentionally to shift perceptions and empower people around work. Cultural significance of language in understanding work and people: Virginie notes that language carries stigma and meaning that shapes opportunities and perception. References Louis Thomas's essays as inspiration for attention to the nuance and power of words: He'll take the word discipline and distill it into its root, tie it back into the natural world." Robin shares a personal anecdote about language and culture: "You can always use Google Translate… but also it's somebody learning DIA or trying to learn dharia, which is Moroccan Arabic… because my fiance is Moroccan." Human-Positive AI, Process, and Apprenticeship Virginie emphasizes the value of process over pure efficiency, especially in investing and work: "It's not about the outcome often, it's about the process… there is truly an apprenticeship quality to venture and investing." Using AI to accelerate tasks like investment memos is possible, but the human learning and iterative discussion is critical: "There's some beauty in that inefficiency, that I think we ought not to lose." AI should augment human work rather than replace the nuanced judgment, particularly in roles requiring creativity, judgment, and relationship-building: "No individual should be in a job that's either unsafe or totally boring or a hundred percent automatable." Introduces the term "human-positive AI" to highlight tools that enhance human potential rather than simply automate tasks: "How do we use it to truly augment the work that we do and augment the people?" Project selection and learning as a metric of value: Virginie evaluates opportunities not just on outcome, but what she will learn and who she becomes by doing the work: "If this project were to fail, what would I still learn? What would I still get out of it?" Cites examples like running a one-day SNAFU conference to engage people in human-centered selling principles: "Who do I become as a result of doing that is always been much more important to me than the concrete outcomes of this thing going well." AI Bubble, Transition, and Opportunity Discusses the current AI landscape and the comparison to past tech bubbles: "I think we're in an AI bubble… 1999 was a tech bubble and Amazon grew out of it." Differentiates between speculative hype and foundational technological transformation: "It is fundamental. It is foundational. It is transformative. There's no question about that." Highlights the lag between technological introduction and widespread adoption: "There's always a pendulum swing… it takes time for massively transformative technology to fully integrate." AI as an enabler, not a replacement: Transition periods create opportunity for investment and human-positive augmentation. Examples from healthcare illustrate AI's potential when applied correctly: "We need other people to care for other people. Should we leverage AI so the doctor doesn't have to face away from the patient taking notes? Yes, ambient scribing is wonderful." Emphasizes building AI around real human use cases and avoiding over-automation: "What are the true use cases for it that make a ton of sense versus the ones we need to stay away from?" History and parallels with autonomous vehicles illustrate the delay between hype and full implementation: Lyft/Uber example: companies predicted autonomous vehicles as cost drivers; the transition opened up gig work: "I was a gig worker long before that was a term… the conversation around benefits and portability is still ongoing." AI will similarly require time to stabilize and integrate into workflows while creating new jobs. Bias, Structural Challenges, and Real-World AI Experiments Discusses the importance of addressing systemic bias in AI and tech: Shares the LinkedIn "#WearThePants" experiment: women altered gender identifiers to measure algorithmic reach: "They changed their picture, in some cases changed their names… and got much more massive reach." Demonstrates that AI can perpetuate structural biases baked into systems and historical behavior: "It's not just about building AI that's unbiased; it's about understanding what the algorithm might learn from centuries of entrenched behavior." Highlights the ongoing challenge of designing AI to avoid reinforcing existing inequities: "Now you understand the deeply structural ingrained issues we need to solve to not continue to compound what is already massively problematic." Parenting, Durable Skills, and Resilience Focus on instilling adaptability and problem-solving in children: "I refuse to problem solve for them. If they forget their homework, they figure it out, they email the teacher, they apologize the next day. I don't care. I don't help them." Emphasizes allowing children to navigate consequences themselves to build independence: "If he forgets his flute, he forgets his flute. I am not making the extra trip to school to bring him his flute." Everyday activities are opportunities to cultivate soft skills and confidence: "I let them order themselves at the restaurant… they need to look the waiter in the eye and order themselves… you need to speak more clearly or speak loudly." Cultural context and exposure shape learning: Practices like family meals without devices help children appreciate attention, respect, and communication: "No iPad or iPhone on our table… we sit properly, enjoy a meal together, and talk about things." Travel and cultural exposure are part of teaching adaptability and perspective: "We spent some time in France over the summer… the mindset they get from that is that meals matter, and people operate differently." Respecting individuality while fostering independence: "They are their own people and you need to respect that and step away… give them the ability to figure out who they are and what they like to do." Parenting as a balance of guidance and autonomy: "Feel like that was a handbook that you just offered for parenting or for management? Either one. Nobody prepares you for that… part of figuring out." Future of Work and Technology Horizons Timeframes for predicting trends: Focus on a 5-year horizon as a middle ground between short-term unpredictability and long-term uncertainty: "Five years feels like this middle zone that I'm kind of guessing in the haze, but I can kind of see some odd shapes." Short-term (6–18 months) is more precise; long-term (10–15 years) is harder to anticipate: "I'm a breezy investor. Six months at a time max… deal making between two people still matters in 18 months." Identifying emerging technologies with latent potential: Invests in technologies that are ready for massive impact but haven't yet had a "moment": "I like to look at technologies that have yet to have a moment… the combo of VR and AI is prime." Example: Skill Maker, a VR+AI training platform for auto technicians, addressing both a labor shortage and outdated certification processes: "We are short 650,000 auto technicians… if you can train a technician closer to a month or two versus two years, I promise you the auto shops are all over you." Focuses on alignment of incentives, business model innovation, and meaningful outcomes: "You train people faster, even expert technicians can benefit… earn more money… right, not as meaningful to them and not as profitable otherwise." Principles guiding technology and investment choices: Solving enduring problems rather than temporary fads: "What is a problem that is still not going to go away within the next 10–15 years?" Ensuring impact at scale while creating economic and personal value for participants: "Can make a huge difference in the lives of 650,000 people who would then have good paying jobs." Scaling, Incentives, and Opportunity Re-examining traditional practices and identifying opportunities for change: "If you've done a very specific thing the exact same way, at some point, that's prime to change." Telehealth is an example: while helpful for remote access, it hasn't fundamentally created capacity: "You're still in that one-to-one patient's relationship and an hour of your time with a provider is still an hour at a time." Next version of telehealth should aim to scale care beyond individual constraints: "Where do we take telehealth next… what is the next version of that that enables you to truly scale and change?" Incentives shape outcomes: "Thinking through that and all the incentives… if I were to change the incentives, then people would behave differently? The answer very often is yes, indeed." Paraphrasing Charlie Munger: "Look for the incentives and I can tell you the outcome." Founders, Pitching, and Common Mistakes Pet peeves in founder pitches: Lack of research and generic outreach is a major turn-off: "I can really quickly tell if you have indeed spent a fraction of a minute on my site… dear sir, automatic junk. I won't even read the thing." Well-crafted, thoughtful cold inbound pitches get attention: "Take some time. A well crafted cold inbound will get my attention… you don't need to figure out an intro." Big mistakes entrepreneurs make: Hiring too early, especially in sales: "Until you have a playbook, like don't hire a sales team… if you don't have about a million in revenue, you're probably not ready." Raising too much capital too quickly: "You get into that, you're just gonna spend a lot more time fundraising than you are building a company." Comparing oneself to others: "You don't know if it's true… there's always a backstory… that overnight success was 15 years in the making." Sales Strategy and Non-Sales Selling Approach is contrarian: focus on conversion, not volume: "It is not a numbers game. I think it's a conversion game… I would much rather spend more time with a narrower set of targets and drive better conversion." Understanding fit is key: "You gotta find your people… and just finding who is not or should not be on your list is equally valuable." Recognizes that each fund and business is unique, so a tailored approach is essential: "The pitch is better when I'm talking to the quote unquote right people in the right place about the right things."

RESOURCE EVALUATION: FROM IRONCLADS TO PANDEMICS Colleague Admiral James Stavridis. Stavridis examines how leaders evaluate resources under pressure. He cites David Farragut at Mobile Bay, who successfully combined Army and Navy assets and adapted to new ironclad technology while ordering "full speed ahead" through mines. In contrast, he defends Commander Lloyd Bucher of the USS Pueblo, who surrendered his spy ship because he had "no resources" to resist and chose to save his crew from suicide. Finally, he praises Captain Brett Crozierfor prioritizing his crew's safety during the COVID-19 outbreak on the USS Theodore Roosevelt, accepting the career cost of leaking a plea for help.

Supreme Court, Trade Tariffs, and the Stagnant Order. Alan Tonelson discusses a Supreme Court case challenging the president's tariff powers (the "Liberation Day tariffs"), which he expects the administration to win. Tonelson cites historical deference to presidential foreign policy power and the president's authority to use other well-established tariffing measures, calling arguments against his powers "legally ignorant." The conversation also explores Michael Beckley's theory of a "stagnant order" among superpowers, leading them to act parasitically or defensively. Tonelson disagrees with the stagnation premise for the US, anticipating a major productivity boom thanks to artificial intelligence.

The Event Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a 22-year-old man named Tyler Robinson after a 33-hour manhunt. Robinson is someone raised conservative but “radicalized to the left.” Details on the Shooter Presented as intelligent (high GPA, ACT scores, scholarship) but later radicalized online and possibly at college. Mentions engraved messages on bullet casings with references to anti-fascism, LGBTQ+ memes, and video game codes. Suggests his roommate was transgender, possibly a romantic partner. Criticism of Media & Political Opponents Argues that mainstream media (e.g., New York Times, Daily Beast) downplayed or misrepresented the ideological motives of the shooter. Accuses the left of lying, celebrating Kirk’s death, and creating a climate of political violence. Religious & Spiritual Framing Kirk was a conservative leader but also an evangelist and Christian apologist. His pastor describes him as a “once-in-a-generation” figure whose murder is framed as both political and spiritual warfare. Parallels are drawn between his faith and martyrdom, with references to demonic opposition. Political Violence Theme Positions political violence as a growing problem attributed mainly to the left. Cites polls claiming many left-leaning respondents condone violence against figures like Trump or Elon Musk. Draws parallels to rhetoric labeling conservatives as “fascists” or “Hitler,” arguing it legitimizes violence. Public & Social Media Reactions Notes celebrations of Kirk’s death by some individuals online and in academia. Highlights instances of people being fired for making celebratory or critical remarks. Discusses Stephen King tweeting a false claim about Kirk, later deleting and apologizing. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
